So far Lindsay has been on a roll.. two straight titles. Venus and Serena are not playing great - playing good but not great. The top Russian are just starting off the season. Mauresmo lost in her tournie. Will Lindsay dominate?

No one can stop her except herself and injury( I hope not ).
I only see serena as the main threat to her but still If Lindsay shows her A game on an american hardcourt, nobody can beat her.

It depends on whether the other players get back to form which at the moment doesn't look likely.

It's too early to tell. Beside Serena (and Venus' retirement) Davenport has not beaten any other key players this hard court season. By that I mean Dementieva (who beat Dav at FO), Sharapova, Myskina, etc. So we will see.

Dementieva beat Davenport because Lindsay could not move... even a little.

If serena can get her head together, she might...but the signs of that are faraway to be seen. Although I must say that Venus really had her on the ropes before injury stroke at San Diego, so it might be venus.

Demientieva who beat an injured lindsay on her worse surface...not exactly like a healthy lindsay on her fav surface :haha:

Just an assumption: Myskina can stop her. They haven't played each other yet, so we can't be sure that Nastya can't stop her... But I'm guessing that Lindsay is the favourite in evry event she enters. Serena is also out there.
Mauresmo would have been a good guess without her strange loss this week.

Maria, Maria....how could I forget about my girl. You can write it here: Maria ends Lindsay´s run and only keeps picking up steam...becoming only player to win two slams this year. A Venus of´00 redux.

myskina can't stop anyone except the rest of the playters from her country. She has no chance againt any top ranked american

Real hardcourt season started only this week. No Grand Slam holder was in action before.

i think that only the Sisters if they start 2 plays @ their lvl can handle Lindsay. oh and Lindsay also sometimes beats herself.

Its a shame i have to spread rep around before giving it to you again as your posts are cracking me up tonight. The sad thing about it is, when it comes to this kind of thing, some are really serious. I mean who cares about any previous events since Maria wasn't there, they are meaningless right?

I think that only Serena really can beat her with the way she is playing right now. Maybe Venus if she is healthy and probably Myskina may have a chance too.

Definitely Venus ... Lindsay barely beat her in Stanford while Venus commited 73 UEs and she was down 0-5 in LA before Venus wrist started to flare up ... that is clearly a sign that all Venus has to do to beat Lindsay is to be healthy or go down to 50 UEs during a whole match ::p:

Lindsay is usually her own worst enemy. When she's fully committed and motivated --- and as long as her body holds up --- she's usually the one to beat on hardcourt. With her recent results on hardcourt, we can assume she's found that motivation. The only other way to beat her is to get to her mentally --- like Sharapova did to her at Wimbledon, rain delay and all. If she's distracted, she can become rattled and lose that motivation.
